Drink Scotch Neat!!!





"The water was not fit to drink. To make it palatable, we had to add whisky. By diligent effort, I learnt to like it."
- Sir Winston Churchill

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good whiskey is barely enough."
- Mark Twain

"If you don’t drink scotch, you are missing out something great in your life"
- Varun

I have seen some of my friends mix Scotch Whisky with pepsi or sprite. I think its a shame to drink scotch like this(If Mr. Johnnie Walker is around and if he happens to see this, he will definitely commit suicide!!!) . There are only three ways one "should" taste scotch: 1) Neat (I prefer it this way). 2) On the rocks ( For those who like to drink their scotch cold rather than warm) and 3) Mixed with water (To dilute the strong taste). Please don't mix any other carbonated drink with scotch. It will totally negate the taste of the drink.

Always start with blended scotch before venturing into single- malt whisky. The first time around, grab a small glass with a couple of ice cubes in it and fill about a thumbs worth of scotch in the glass, then fill the rest of the glass with water.Drink up. The next time, add a bit more scotch and a bit less water. Continue this process by adding a bit more scotch everytime. You should be able to drink Scotch "Neat" by the end of one month.

Once you have mastered this, it is time for trying out single- malt whisky. The important thing here is it should be always had "Neat".

Congratulations. Now, you are a scotch drinker.

You are now a member of the drinking elite, a person of refined tastes. You’ll never want to drink anything else again.
